Jeff at Grizzly Gunworks in Ontario makes these. He duplicated the threads perfectly. This brake is suppose to offer a 60% recoil reduction. Can't wait to test it!
...and yes, I fully realize how obnoxiously overdone/overkill this brake is....exact reason why I bought it
Very nice! SO it looks like you didnt have to mill out the brake to make room for the pumps guide tube after all
It wouldve been cool to witness it at the 3 gun match with the brake.Very nice! SO it looks like you didnt have to mill out the brake to make room for the pumps guide tube after all
Yeah, I was watching the tracking info like a hawk, wishing and hoping it would get delivered early! Ahh oh well, I'll have it out for the end July match....along with some chokes that just shipped today from Italy.
It's looks like he turned down the outer diameter on about half of the threaded portion. The stock photos on his website show the brakes retaining the same full diameter all the way to the base. No extra charge for the needed lathe work.
This is his clamp on style (no threads needed), but you get the idea. Mine is threaded with one clamping bolt. No need for a crush washer or d|cking around getting it clocked right

Great! yah I messaged him about getting one as well. But I think ill go with the Defcon 1 style if possible. Door breachers look cool , but in my experience they eat the sh!t out of Vehicle carpets and gun cases haha
Just curious since I'd like to buy a Brixia, do you think Tac Ord would be able to install one of their muzzle devices on it? Since they'd have to thread the outside of the barrel anyways, how tough would it be to match threads?

Running? No, i am fine with that.
I just dont want to stand beside you when you fire that new noise maker of yours.
Pishhh..... running..... let me just tell you.... you owe me beer
Chokes should actually be here by then, so no need to fret
Did you need chokes?
I thought you knocked everything down without any issues.
Don't necessarily need them...but I like options. CHAS has some heavier plates and spinners that can be a little more challenging to get moving if you're not getting dead centre impact.
I'd also like the shotgun to be somewhat capable for hunting as well as clays. I ordered two sets, normal length and long ones (120mm or 4.7"). I think I'll keep the long ones, which will effectively bump the barrel length up to 18ish" and should yield a slight boost in velocity.

Finally got to try out the new muzzle brake and smash some clays! The difference in recoil is amazing! I think I'll stop looking for a recoil pad. Shot off a few slugs after and it was great.
Who says you can't hit clays with a short barrelled "tactical" shotgun

Nice!
I really didn't notice any increase in noise. Concussion also wasn't that bad. The muzzle brake on my XCR feels like it throws a lot more concussion rearward.
Although my buddy did get a chunk of something (carbon maybe) peg him in the forehead from the brake hah.
Gotta love photobucket's retarded move.... Im working on switching everything over to google photos. I doubt I'll ever get around to re-posting all the photos in this thread, but if you'd like to see something specific just ask and I'll provide a working link lol
anyways, here is a random test photo from google+ (my 4runner all cleaned up haha)
